Overview

Rudrabhishek for families in Dashashwamedh Ghat

Rudrabhishek is the abhishek, or ritual bathing, of the Shivling performed while chanting the Rudrashtadhyayi (commonly called Rudri) from the Shukla Yajurveda, or the Sri Rudram (Namakam Chamakam) in South Indian traditions. Offerings such as Gangajal, milk, curd, ghee, honey, sugarcane juice and panchamrit are poured over the Shivling in a continuous stream, followed by bel patra, flowers and bhasma.

Dashashwamedh Ghat is one of the best-known ghats in Varanasi and is widely associated with the grand evening Ganga Aarti. Its name is traditionally linked to a legend of Lord Brahma performing the Dashashwamedh yagna here.

ॐ त्र्यम्बकं यजामहे सुगन्धिं पुष्टिवर्धनम्।

उर्वारुकमिव बन्धनान्मृत्योर्मुक्षीय माऽमृतात्॥

Mahamrityunjaya Mantra, Rig Veda 7.59.12

Planning Your Puja in Dashashwamedh Ghat

Vehicles usually cannot reach the ghat; expect to walk the last stretch through busy lanes from Godowlia.
The evening aarti draws very large crowds, arrive early if you want to watch from the steps or a boat.
Dev Deepawali, Sawan and major festival days bring exceptional crowds and traffic restrictions, so plan extra time.
Early mornings are quieter and better suited for snan or riverside sankalp.
Keep valuables secure and agree boat arrangements clearly before setting out.
Book early for Sawan Mondays and Maha Shivratri, when Pandits are in high demand.
Share your name, gotra and the intention for the abhishek when you enquire.

  • Maha Shivratri brings very large crowds and traffic restrictions; plan travel and book your Pandit well in advance.
  • Many families take Ganga jal from the river in the morning to use in the abhishek.
